Pours amber/yellow with a strong citrus aroma. Honestly, this beer is like drinking a glass of grapefruit juice. A few other subtle fruit notes, like blueberry, orange and lemon. Fairly good.

Hazed and pale sandy yellow in color with a thin cellophane sheaf for the head and snowy cascading lace that retains well. Strawberry fields and Cabbage Patch Kids heads unmistakably take the nose. A touch of poppyseeds backdoors the sweet suggestions as well. Soft carbonation lets a winy Cabbage Patch Kid come to fruition in the flavor. Lemon poppyseed pieces join a light hearted, bleached blueberry muffin entourage. Cotton cleanliness gets lickspittle buttercream for belittling support. Scarlet ambivalence and depleted honey wheat play out in the strawberry fields for far too long. Lemony ginger defeats all odds and comes out above all else in the finish.

Thanks to Degarth. Pours a very hazy yellow color (looks like my homebrews) huge white head. Aroma smells just like fruity pebbles, will it taste like it? What the fu.... it does taste like fruity pebbles. This shit taste like the last couple soggy bites in the bottom of the bowl, there’s a little more citrus to it but damn this is fruity pebbles in a glass. Which isn’t really a good thing the more I drink the more I will never get it again, just doesn’t sit well. Not really my thing because it makes me feel like I’m drinking milk but just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not cool.

Hazy orange taste with obvious coriander and maybe a touch of peach and ginger abounding. It started off quite nice but ended on a rather mediocre note. There is nothing unpleasant here though. Easy session beer.

On tap at Murphy’s in Urbana. I would almost have called this a fruit beer before i called it a wheat, because it didnt really have the yeast-character that I expect a wheat to have. But, this was tasty. Very sweet, almost an artificial fruit taste,but in a good way, and a very, very slight hint of hops at the end.

Bottled and Draught. Aroma of toasty wheat, banana blueberry muffins. Poured a hazen yellow. Flavor was wheaty, banana, blueberry. Palate was relatively easy drinking. Overall, good for a 1.50 drafts and not too shabby for watching football at home

Bottle. Poured a hazy light brown (almost an off yellow) with a frothy white head that leaves light lacing. The aroma put out citrus, spices, and hints of wheat and yeast. The flavor has an orange/lemon citrus mix with a light spiced background. Light to medium body. Orange peal aftertaste. Another decent summer session beer.
